In an announcement following the release of the newest trailer and the reveal of the sequel’s launch date, Druckmann has offered quite a bit of information related to the game’s production. While only briefly touched the main theme of the game in order to not spoil anything, the guy revealed quite a few details about its size.

The Last of Us 2 is going to be the most ambitious and longest game that Naughty Dog ever made in its thirty-five years history. Furthermore, Druckmann also said that the size is “required” for this type of story to work. The game is going to be shipped on two discs.

Ellie is all grown up in the sequel

Overall, it is estimated that The Last of Us 2’s main story would be about twenty-five hours, almost double that of Uncharted 4. Below is the release date reveal trailer:

This gameplay sequence gives us a look at Ellie’s daily routine while she is trying to survive in the wild. To defeat enemies, she would have to acquire the right balance between stealth and all-out attack, as one can’t just sneak past everything. This type of gameplay cannot be done by Joel – it is tailored to Ellie as she has a more agile build. With stealth, Ellie can sneak between areas, gather weapons from bodies and take down enemies by surprise.

Sometimes a frontal assault is exactly what you need

The Last of Us 2's gameplay is somewhat different from that of its prequel, however, its quality is not something to be doubted. The sequel brings back many old creatures from The Last of Us along with a few new ones, with more complex mechanics and challenging gameplay.

You would have to deal with many enemies in this hostile world, including other survivors

The Last of Us Part II will be released for the PlayStation 4 on Q1 next year, February 21, 2020.
